mac maven cannot find symbol wrong servlet-api.jar - macos

Question

I compile spring webflow samples project using maven in mac os and got errors. (The project compiled successfully in windows)
So I create a simple maven project to reproduce the error.
pom.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>test</artifactId>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<dependencies>
<!-- Servlet -->
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
src/main/java/Test.java
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
public class Test {
public void init(ServletContext context) {
context.setInitParameter("javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX", ".xhtml");
}
}
mvn compile
The error is:
I thought is was something that maven used a wrong servlet-api.jar but not servlet as pom dependency specified which is correct. (I use javac -cp javax.servlet-api-3.0.1.jar Test.java, result no error)
I check mvn dependency:tree, the result show correct servlet-api-3.0.1.jar.
I also chech mvn script to see if there is some option to set classpath.
But I just can't figure out how maven use which jars as it's classpath.

It's very weird.
After I've imported this test maven project into eclipse,
I run mvn compile again, no error happened.
